Metasys 2551J, Manual

Intelligent Products—2551J and 2551TJ Plug-In Intelligent Photoelectronic Smoke Detector    13

Direct Heat Method (Hair Dryer of 1000-1500 watts)

1.

Direct the heat toward the thermal collector.

2.

Hold the heat source about 12 inches from the detector in order to
avoid damage to the plastic.

3.

The detector will reset only after the collector has had sufficient time
to cool and the power source has been momentarily interrupted.

Detectors that fail these tests should be cleaned as described in the
Maintenance section of this technical bulletin and retested.  If the detectors
still fail these tests they should be returned for repair.

You can test all of the intelligent detectors programmed in the system by
issuing a command at the control panel.

This test checks:

●

if the detectors are communicating with the control panel

●

if the detectors are in the proper sensitivity range

●

for any detectors that are in alarm

●

for any detectors that are reporting a trouble condition

The test can be performed while the system is in normal operation.
The test will not sound any alarms.

Note: Check with the local authority having jurisdiction to determine

whether you must perform the individual tests on each detector or
whether the following test is acceptable in your area.

Refer to the control panel technical manual for detailed information on
testing the intelligent detectors from the control panel.
